I find the moment I’m kinda injured, or overencumbered, all those tracking animals suddenly get really interested in me. So if you have to go on scavenging runs, don’t overstuff your backpack in an attempt to make the trip worth it. Make two trips. Always. Smaller successes is better than one big death.

Also worth note: yeah, the second combat seems likely WOW DROP ENCUMBERING GEAR LIKE BACKPACKS.
I haven’t had this die-in-my-sleep happen to me personally, as my home is inside a waste treatment facility so I sleep with no windows, and at least two doors between me and the outside at all times, PLUS a basement. I assume the lack of windows is the biggest aid after the basement. So my advice would be try finding someplace with a basement.

I have to wonder if (W)earing a blanket when going to bed makes one likewise visibly encumbered to animals that like easy pickings.

There’s really no point to wearing a blanket to bed, dropping it on the bed makes it much better at keeping you warm.

Pthalocy · 2014-10-27T16:57:27.000Z

Exactly, hence my wondering if it is, in fact, only detrimental in that situation.

Never sleep above ground unless you’re in a structure strong enough to repel Bear and Moose.
Dig pits around your shelter.
Do not sleep near the walls.
If all else fails, set up something to generate smoke, which helps disrupt scent tracking.

Have you considered…

Valpo · 2014-10-27T18:59:53.000Z

normal animals do not even destroy windows. so when i am followed by a vicious wolf i can hide behinde a window and watch it be hungry n stuff :3.
If need be i kill stronger enemies with the almighty burning bush + a club or something.

For what it’s worth, I never travel at night unless it’s because I foraged too late in the day. My survivors tend to be horrendous insomniacs who spend too long on study during shitty weather days. On the days I’ve had mobs chase me, I’ve generally used forests to lose them, and then sprint across the nearest field opposite and hope they lose interest.

I still don’t know how I ran away from a mi-go that one time, considering I was neither fleet of foot nor particularly inconspicuous. Might have hid in a basement before it got through more forest??

Don’t sleep at all, sleep is for the weak.
Clear out every coffee shop you find.
Make as much coffee as you physically can.
Live your life on caffeine
You conquered sleep.

Die from overheating in an ice lab after months of atomic coffee.

Logrin:

6. Die from overheating in an ice lab after months of atomic coffee.

I still don’t understand how this happened to you, is critical caffeine withdrawal coded to cause lethally high body temperature?

Logrin · 2014-10-31T04:35:38.000Z

I have no idea what makes it happen, but when I drink nothing but atomic coffee for extended times IG ((Usually to build vehicles faster)) My body temp just rises. To the point where being naked causes painful cramps

Raskulle · 2014-10-31T08:02:26.000Z

The last time I drank atomic coffee, it took 2 whole days for my character to get tired.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-10-31T19:02:42.000Z

It’s called radiation…?

Raskulle · 2014-10-31T21:05:06.000Z

Logrin, get a biomonitor and use it every time you drink atomic coffee.

The drink is true to it’s namesake.

Pthalocy · 2014-11-02T01:22:35.000Z

I have learned something today.

Logrin · 2014-11-03T08:12:40.000Z

Could have sworn I was chasing atomic coffee with iodine tablets…
